Harissa is a delicious condiment made from spicy red peppers, garlic and seasonings all ground into a paste. It makes a great marinade for meats but in this recipe we thinned it out and made a vinaigrette to toss all the delicious crisp vegetables in the salad. The spicy harissa pairs well with the creamy chickpea hummus from Holy Land Bakery in NE Minneapolis.
